Sonnenschein Makes More Cuts

Posted by Ross Todd

Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal released a statement on Wednesday confirming that the firm has carried out additional layoffs, but a firm spokeswoman declined to say how many positions were eliminated. The move follows two previous rounds of cuts within the past year and a half.

"As
every business is doing, we continue to review ways to align our
capacity with demand in these weaker areas," Sonnenschein said in a statement to Above the Law. "Where we can, we transfer
resources. When we cannot, we must make prudent business decisions that
unfortunately affect some very good people. While we are not alone in
our professional services industry in so doing, it is never easy to
make these calls."

Above the Law reports that less than two dozen associates
were cut as a part of the firm's latest moves. When contacted by The Am
Law Daily, a Sonnenschein spokeswoman would not confirm ATL's number
and said the firm would have no further comment beyond the statement provided to Above the Law.
